Features: This book is designed to accompany the "Reform of the Curriculum System and Teaching Content for Philosophy Majors in the 21st Century," serving as a textbook for undergraduate philosophy students studying the history of Chinese philosophy. It can also be used as a reference for students from other disciplines who choose to take or self-study the history of Chinese philosophy, as well as an introductory book for foreign students learning the history of Chinese philosophy. We strive to reflect the new achievements and developments in the discipline of the history of Chinese philosophy since the reform and opening-up, systematically organizing the historical context of Chinese philosophy as a whole, comprehensively presenting the rich content of philosophy across Chinese dynasties, and making every effort to break through old ideological patterns. We aim to objectively reveal the universal value and national characteristics of the history of Chinese philosophy. Chinese philosophy is a product of Chinese culture and the spiritual creation of the Chinese nation. Conversely, Chinese philosophy is also the soul of Chinese culture and a concentrated embodiment of the spirit of the Chinese nation. The rich and diverse content of Chinese culture not only provides fertile intellectual soil and a beautiful humanistic environment for Chinese philosophy but also directly gives birth to and nurtures Chinese philosophy, continuously providing it with intellectual nourishment and spiritual resources.
